Human Touch Keeps AI From Getting Out of Touch - AI Trends

AI is charting new ways to become out of touch, potentially. Maybe the frame of mind around agile, sometimes spontaneous, software development that had been going on in decentralized organizations before AI took over, is coming into conflict with the mindset needed to feed AI systems with a constant high-volume flow of clean, well-structured data. This suggestion was broached by Sylvain Duranton, senior partner at Boston Consulting Group, in a recent TED Talk. "For the last 10 years, many companies have been trying to become less bureaucratic, to have fewer central rules and procedures, more autonomy for their local teams to be more agile. And now they are pushing artificial intelligence, AI, unaware that cool technology might make them more bureaucratic than ever," he stated in a recent account in Forbes.
